moore
Moore is a compiler for hardware description languages that outputs llhd assembly, with a focus on usability, clear error reporting, and completeness. Its goal is to act as a frontend for hardware design tools such as synthesizers, linters, or logical equivalence checkers.
Usage
Installation
You need a working Rust installation. Use cargo to install moore:
cargo install moore
Example
Assume the following input file:
// foo.sv
module hello_world;
endmodule
To compile foo.sv
and emit the corresponding LLHD assembly to standard output call moore with the file name and the module to elaborate (-e
option):
moore foo.sv -e hello_world
You can use llhd-sim to simulate the compiled module:
moore foo.sv -e hello_world > foo.llhd
llhd-sim foo.llhd
Development
Moore is developed in this repository, but is separated into the following crates:

: Top-level umbrella crate tying everything togethermoore-svlog
: SystemVerilog implementationmoore-svlog-syntax
: SystemVerilog parser and AST implementationmoore-vhdl
: VHDL implementationmoore-vhdl-syntax
: VHDL parser and AST implementation
Some useful commands when working on moore:
cargo check
cargo test --all
cargo run -- foo.sv -e foo
